fteraldjnd flaoertiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, OCT. 8. the unsuccessful. Ho toiled and hustled from morning till niirht. Hut somehow ho couldn’t succeed; |{c riBod his best offortH and tried with his might, Yet somehow ho couldn't succeed. Ifc bore up with fortitude under the strain. Whenever ho failed he tried over again, They never could find a Haw or a atain- But somehow ho couldn’t succeed. He bent to his task in the world with a will, But somehow he couldn’t succo*d; The sweets that others covet to him were but nil, But Bomchow he couldn’t succeed. Ho plodded along in tho very same way, Day in and day out. with but little to say; He bent, to his labors, gave little to play, But somehow he couldn’t succeed. He was one, only one, from the millions hurled, Who somehow never succeed: lie traveled hiti way through a cold dreary world, And never, could never succeed, lie used his best efforts in playing his part. The burden he carried oft made the tears start.. And yet thro’ it all a song welled from his heart— This man who could never succeed. Our Carrollton Correspondent C. M. S. “Believe mo, I speak as my understanding in structs rnc, and ns mine honesty puts it to utter ance.” —l Shakespeare, — 1 nover see the name of Moon that I’m not reminded of the supernatural powers attributed to Gen. Joshua, who commanded the hosts of the Lord at the skirmish in the valley of Ajelon. It is said the Guneral attacked the enemy about 2 a. m., whon thu harvest moon was full, as was likewise the enemy. As he wanted to cut them out to a thin stand by the moonshine, and as the moon was about to disappear behind the mountains, he bade her stand still un til he could finish the Lord’s work slaughtering tho heathen. She stood still, and “tho widows of Ahur were fraud in their wails.’’ Now, the ques tion is: Suppose Col. E. T. Moon, the census supervisor, should fail to give ■Carrollton b,00() souls in his census count, who is going to make him stand atill until wo get a recount? Beware, Colonel; there’s a Joshua up here who Tarries a newly-ground ruzor for any Moon that fails to give us what we want. — Mrs. West, the estimable consort of Hon. Goo. W. West, died in Atlanta on the Is* inst., where she had gone for treatment. The remains were interred in the new cemetery at this place. The floral offerings were numerous, and the funeral rites were attended by a large 1 concourse of sorrowing friends. Mrs. West a woman of rare intellectual attainments, endued with a genial dis position, and her untimely demise is a sad blow to our city. The Herald and Advertiser extends sympathy to the bereaved family. What’s the difference between a pocketknifo and a penknife? If you know, tell us. In the good old days when “the gray goose quill” did ser vice as a stylus, it was necessary to have a penknife; but in this utilita rian, iron age. tho quill pen has been relegated to the shadows of a forgot ten past. So, like many other misno mers, the word “penknife” has outlived its day and generation. It is well. It is an indicator on the valve-stem of old Tempos Fugit, and marks the progress <of the XXth century, while at the same lime it sadly alludes to the ever- shifting sands of evolution “Other men, other times,” who now write with machinery. President Taft did not honor him self by coming to the A. & M. Fair. He Is a good, fat old man, and poses »s one of the world’s Christian rulers. He has been invited to Mexico by the President of the Greasers, with tho promise that he shall have all that is coming to his serene highness. He wired President Diaz the following: “Dear Dizy- I’m coining; pull off se ries of bullfights for the benefit of my official entourage when we show up; have the girls appear in their best frocks. Taft.” —It seems to mo that the editor who would kick on the small sum of $150,- (MX) or $200,000 that is being spent by President Taft on his present junketing itinerary has hut a small conception of what a hundred millions of Republicans owe their ruler. It won’t amount to a half-rent each to the tax payers, and none of us are so unpatriotic that we would not give a dime to see the great est aggregation on earth of brain and brawn. Let the spectacular parade proceed. —As an inventive genius Tom Cole man can give the wizard of Melno Park cards and a drink and still pace ahead. He is going to show the visitors to the A. & M. Fair how to make a clock mark time without running-gear. See it, and if you don’t like the exhibit shut your eyes and forget it. —Even the sand crabs, fiddlers, and other crustaceans, are beginning to howl about the iniquities of the new registration law. So much for reform. The only apprehension I have about the whole business is that when the people have had a taste of this reform disfranchisement they’ll do something rash. Like as not they’ll lynch some of the reform leaders who nailed the registration plank onto the Macon plat form. Revolutions never go back wards, but reforms are occasionally knocked endwise into nonentity. Where is the reform Governor? Ask the peo ple. —Bob Almond, one of Carrollton’s most popular Bonifaces, has made his wad, and in consequence has retired to his palatial home on Easy street, leav ing the Southland Hotel in charge of Mr. W. P. Lewis, a former resident of Temple. It was thought when Bob quit the hotel busiiness the traveling pub lic would starve. Far from it. The drummer who feeds at Lewis’ table is remarkable for his sleek, well-fed ap pearance. If asked, he’ll tell you that Lewis keeps one of the best hotels in Georgia. Lewis leaves a lasting im pression on the stomach of commercial gourmets. He who affects an epicu rean taste will never pass Lewis’ sa vory dishes. —Injun summer am hero at last., ’Possum and 'talers on yo’ plate; Do old hoodown is in full blast; Do coons iz fixin’ fer to skate. — Byron said gin was the source of his poetic inspiration. Well, it will be a bad day for lid poets who have neith er tho promptings of the divine afflatus or the subtle influences of gin. Provi dence denies us the one and tho prohi bitionists the other. They seek .to shunt us from Charybdis, and thereby cast us upon Scylln. —The latest candidate for public fa vor is the Gaiety Rollerway—on South Rome street. The spacious floor makes it possible for a half-hundred skaters to glide along ut one time. The rnllorway is brand new in every partic- lar. It is situated in a spacious new brick building, the appointments are all new, and the sport is hut recently introduced. Its promoters, Messrs. Hudgins. Blalock and Hunter, deserve much credit for its artistic style and elegant mangemeut. It fills a long-felt want for the supple handlers of youth ful feet. —A contemporary says: “The auto- omile, it seems is not an unmixed evil to the farmers. We learn that 350,000 bales of cotton are used annually in their construction, and that amount means no little to him.” Yes, that’s all right about the 350,000 Pales being used in making these horse and mule scare-crows. When we come to draw the balance you’ll find they’ve made more than 400,000 horses and mules runaway per annum, doing not less than $0.35 damage in each case. Mul tiply this $9.35 by your 400,000 runa ways and it will pile up a mountain of cost that will make your head swim. We don’t wish to sav anything about the cemeteries they have started, for we know they’ve come to stay, and we | may as well prostrate our bodies for the passage of the juggernaut. —Does a spider spin a thread or a cob? If he spins a cob, the best lexi cographers are silent on the subject; yet an excellent friend of mine took advan tage of my absence and made me say he hitched his cob to a nail, (meaning the fruit of the spider’s loom.) I wanted to give the spider credit for his work and said: “He hitched his ‘cable’ to a nail”—meaning the spider’s thread. — Hon, H. W. Long has returned from Cordova and Jasper, Ala. His Honor is like the Grecian king who rode the ox-headed horse, Bucephalus, in making the conquest of the world. After licking everything he could lay hands upon he cried for more. His honor won out at home, and went to Jasper to organize a campaign for sheriff for a relative. Knowing his winning ways, the opposition said to him as did Col. Crockett’s coon: “Don’t shoot: I’ll come down ” So the coast is clear and the kinsman has a walkover. —A contemporary says, speaking of a sow: “She is one year and eleven months old, and has fallowed three lit ters of pigs, thirty-one in number, within a period of ten months.” The brother has us guessing. What he means by saying the sow “fallowed,” passes our understanding. “Farrowed thiiee litters,” etc., would have been au fait from a lexocographical view point. Pardonez tnoi, Monsieur! —Dr. W. W. Roop, an eminent Bap tist divine of this city, visited Bowdon Monday and Tuesday. —Bernard Bass, a local contractor and builder, bis returned from Nash ville, Tenn. — Miss Mamie Redwine has returned home after spending a week pleasantly with Newnan relatives. —Mrs. Allen Upshaw is visiting rel atives in Villa Rica. — Hon. L. C. Mandeville has again spread his tents in (JlilFton Park, where he dispenses all the good things that emanate from a well-regulated cuisine. It was my pleasure to dine with him Sunday. The camp was re splendent with bunting, and a charm ing company graced the festal board. Among others were Rev. W. E. Dozier, Messrs. Ellis Smith, Eugene Long, John O. Newell and Mrs. Newell, Ap pleton Mandeville, Wm. Simonton and Cleghorn Meadows. Miss Eugenia, the charming daughter of mine host, did the honors of the occasion, which was made most enjoyable by the spirit of bonhomie which prevailed. —Carrollton will wear her gala day habiliments this week. Both public and private residences will be garnished in bunting. All are expected to “put the big pot in the little one,” and from present indications will succeed in do ing so. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. McPherson, of Bremen, were in the city Friday and Saturday. -Rev. VV. E. Dozier was in attend ance on the sessions of the Atlanta V. sbytery the past week. —Gol. John O. Newell has one of the eomeliest homes in the city. The resi dence has just been completed, and Col. and Mrs. Newell have moved into it. We expert soon to hear of a house warming party that will cause the na tives to rise and take note. —We are pleased to note that Mrs. J. C. Bass, who has been seriously ill for the past six weeks, is able to be up again. —Mr. W. L. McClure has severed a business engagement with the Tanner Grocery Co., and will make his home in Lafayette, Ala. —Judge Samson W. Harris and that other old warhorse, Geo. F. Cheney, mingled with the veterans at Athens last week. Mrs. J. A. Bass had as her guests this week Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bass and her sister, Mrs. Johnson, of Cedar- town. —Mrs. Mandeville Long, of Cordova, Ala., arrived Monday morning to be with her mother, Mrs. Geo. West, dur ing her last illness. —Mrs. Lula Juhan has as her guests this week Mrs. J. L. Lineburger, of Talladega, Ala., and Miss Allie Juhan, of Florida. —We regret exceedingly to announce that Mr. Edward Cheney, that genial, courtly gentleman, whose cordial greet ing causes a ripple of joy to caper over our features, has accepted a position with the Louisville and Nashville rail road at Chattanooga. His family left Monday to join him in his new home. —Carrollton lias a clever acquisition in the persons of Citizen Allen Upshaw and his charming wife, formerly resi dents of Villa Rica. —We are pleased to hear that that excellent gentleman, Mr. Frank Bass, is improving. Mrs. Bass spent several days with him recently at an Atlanta sanatarium, and is of the opinion he will be able to come home soon. —Rev. David Dodd, the new pastor of the First Baptist church, arrived Saturday with his family. They are occupying the home of Col. W. D. Ham rick, on College street. — How did you like the A. & M. Fair? —Dr. W. C. Lyle, formerly of this place, now a resident of Augusta, Ga., has just returned from taking a post graduate course in New York.

I’M ALWAYS AT HOME. Jack Powell Die Wacht Am Rhine like a native fraulein. —Louis Sims is a good boy; but he’s no better than other boys whom Cupid has thrown the hooks into. He will sacrifice himself upon the nuptial altar on the 14th inst., at the home of Miss Susie Fincher’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Fincher, of Lawrenceville. “My graciou, dear,” said the Chi cago bridegroom. ‘ 'you were awfully nervous during the ceremony.” “Yes, it’s my nature,” replied his fair bride. “1 suppose I shall be just as nervous when—er— l marry next time.” _ With all your learning, be sure and know yourself.
